Watch a Frightening Supercharged 370 HP SuperBusa Nearly Hit the End of a Airstrip

Give a rider a regular 1,340cc, 188 hp, Suzuki Hayabusa with 111 lb-ft of torque and a (derestricted) top speed of 190-195 mph on an empty airstrip and watch their pupils dilate. By the time they're back, they'd be doing well not to have a wet patch in their leathers. Now, add nearly 200 hp to that and see what it does to a rider.

Well, not just any rider, it's Alastair Fagan who has competed in British Superbike and the Isle of Man TT, before becoming one of the co-founders of 44Teeth. 

This SuperBusa is the brainchild of TTS Performance and puts out 370 hp and 190 lb-ft of torque thanks to strengthened internals and a Rotorex C30-94 centrifugal supercharger. Carbon fiber winglets help keep this monster stuck to the ground while it completes an 8.0-second quarter mile and hits its top speed of 218 mph. There's no question about whether this bullet can get going; it's more the stopping I'd be concerned with.
